CBA challenge update
With the conflicting weather forecasts as of tonite the "gathering" is still on! Just a reminder if the weather is unfishable for some or all the after party is still on! If you do fish remember that the measure in for bragging rights only is at 1:00 P.M. All door prizes and raffle will take place at approx. 2:30 and obviously you need to be present to win. If not registered you will not be eligible. Again if not a total rainout I plan on being at Marina by 12:00-12:30. Please remember to bring something for the grill and whatever you may want to drink. In the event of a washout the festivities will be moved to coconut charlies. Hopefully if this would be the case we can make a call on that by Friday night but as it stands now everything will take place at Atlantic Marina Resort. Look forward to a tight contest and seeing everyone.
And by the way do not forget your $50.00 per boat fee for door prizes and raffle! |
JUSTIFIED is in either way so I hope someone can give us a lift to Coconut's if we need to change venues last minute. I will be sure to check here for the committee weather report Friday eve.
|
I can run shuttle service!
|
My long range weather forecast is showing improvement for Saturday:)
I don't trust them until 2 days out, but at least it's an encouraging trend:D 5th |
That's why the national weather service rely on information from NOAA. They have NOAA idea what the weather is going to be like!
|
So do we have an actual boat count at this point or are we waiting for Friday and the weather report?
|
I believe it's still around 10 boats. Have not heard or seen anyone saying they are not coming but you never know until the day of since it's a pay when you get there thing.
|
Well keep your fingers crossed boys the WX is changing for the better(knock on wood)/head. :D
|
I was on the fence about fishing the tournament this weekend due to lack of fishing partners, but I just found out my marina is closed all weekend for the Holiday! Probably my fault, I am sure they told me and I just plain forgot. So, now I am not partner-less, I am boat-less since it is stuck in the boatel. If anyone is looking for a novice angler to join them for the tournament, let me know.

I've got room. I am fishing solo, so you are welcome to join. However, I don't have a cushy pilot house, it's an open center console. |

If anybody is looking for a boat to fish on tomorrow, I have room for one or two on the WINNING boat out of Annapolis. I also have a pilot house and propane heat:rolleyes: PM me your phone number if you are interested.

OK guys; weather looks good. Winds light and variable and no chancy of rain until after dark.
Most of the boats I know will be on channel 72. See you guys at check-in (1:00 pm) at the marina (Atlantic Resorts Marina on the Patapsco). Picknic tables are ready, Mikes charcoal grill is ready, looking forward to seeing everyone. Plenty of empty slips available if you come by boat. Have fun; happy hunting:) 5th (Marty) |
To all those competing today
Good luck and be safe and we will see you around 1 |
Thanks for setting this up guys.
It's going to be a fun day. Hope everyone gets a chance today. :) |
We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water and I'm officially stuffed from eating to many of Jason's fish Tacos!
|
Fun day, fishing could have been a little bit better for us but nice to put some new faces to names and see some of the old faces. Already planning strategy for next year. (Plan so far : try to catch a legal fish next year) :D
BIG Thanks to Atlantic Marina Resort for hosting and everyone else that helped out!!! I'd call it a success! :) |
Jason call me! Important 443-848-7778
|
Let me start off by thanking all the participants today, without you there would not have been a contest. Second I would like to thank the ladies who took over the grill like true champs!(after Jason was done with the fish for the tacos). Believe me I hated handing over the money to Marty as much as you all hated seeing him take it! But congradulations to the Judge yacht king for the year. It was truly a pleasure to finally put some faces with the names of this great website. Hopefully someone got some pictures today that they can post. We were truly blessed by the weather gods today by giving us the short window that was allowed. As we were cleaning up the drops starting falling. As we agreed upon next years tournament will be the Saturday following thanksgiving. I will make certain a letter will be obtained from DNR so we can proceed forward with it. I need some help though! So that we can get in a full day of fishing if anyone knows of a place we can hold the after party indoors please start working on it. With this being a Saturday tournament it's hard to get a bar such as our backup, coconut Charlie's to commit with it being their busy nite to make money. Enough said we got a year to work on it but it will be here before you know it. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves today and look forward to making it a annual event! Everyone please have a successful and safe remaining season and look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Thank you everyone for making the first one a great success!!!

We had a great time today and can't wait for next year!

Great fishing and great party today! Not so great that Marty managed to get the only 30 incher in the BPL area today :rolleyes: We had quantity catching 10 fish in the 4 hours we had, but Marty got the big one - congratulations, Marty! Thanks for putting it together Mike... looking forward to next year!

Thanks Mako Mike for all that you did to see this was a success. Getting Atlantic Marina Resort to donate their facility (including boat slips, grounds, picnic tables, and grills) was huge.
I couldn't believe the variety of food. We went old school with hot dogs and beer, but there were Robin's fish taco's, smoked/grilled chicken, beef barbecue, burgers, and all the "fixin's" with salads and other delicious food. I knew most of the participants, but still found a few new people:D What a great group of fishermen and their wives:) As you said, it would have been very hard to beat the 60 degree dry weather with light winds today. As I left my slip this morning, I was happy to see that no fog had rolled in last night. With good visibility, we decided to make the long run south to look for a nice fish. It is a testament to the type of people on this board that Jason saw us and called us over into the very same waters he was having success. His information helped us put the winning fish in the boat:eek: It's good to know that friendship overshadows competitiveness in this bragging rights tournament among fishing buddies. With only 15 minutes left to fish, the 30 inch fish hit a board rod hard. Lolo made short work of the fat fish and we ran back home on flat water. With only 4 fish caught (two others came unglued) we were sure that one of Jason's 10 fish:eek::eek: was going to dwarf our catch. With only an inch to spare, 5th Tuition claimed both CBA and Judge bragging rights. My crew consisted of Bruce Lewin (36 Judge Hook 'EM"), Lolo Gensler (having a 36 Judge built), Jay Shipley (owner of my marina), and myself. Bruce just had hip replacement surgery Oct 12th; and I brought my mom's handicap car placard in case we needed a "special" slip assignment :D Great day on the water, and back on dry land. Thanks to all who participated. 5th (Marty) |
Could not agree more.....
What a great day...great friends...great food... Thanks to all... Can't wait to finish out the season strong and looking forward to a great spring.... |

Had a great day on the water and I really enjoyed seeing some friends and meeting new friends. Food was GREAT (Thanks Robin for the tacos and cookies). Mike did a great job setting everything up. |

It had a great time and it was nice to catch up with Bruce again and to meet Jay for the 1s time. Most importantly I'm glad Jay was on board because that guy is like a rabbits foot, maybe the best lucky charm I've ever met :) Like everyone else already stated it was great to be able to put faces to names and most of all get to tell a whole bunch of half lies or partial truths! Can't wait till next year! |
meet up
I enjoyed meeting everyone as well, putting a face to a keyboard name was nice.
